Feature & Specification Comparison

Specification	Robrain adelinamart Knowledge & Memory	Agentkits Memory aitytech Knowledge & Memory
Summary	Self-hosted decision memory for AI coding agents. Passively captures architectural decisions with the alternatives you rejected (structured rejected[]), then warns the agent before it re-proposes a rejected approach. Postgres + pgvector; cross-tool across Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, and Codex. Install: npx robrain up && npx robrain install.	Persistent memory for AI coding assistants with hybrid search (FTS5 + vector embeddings), session tracking, automatic context hooks, and web viewer. SQLite-based with no daemon process — works with Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and any MCP client.
